Being that I am 10% complete my 1,001 days challenge, I thought it was time for an update.
Of the 101 tasks, I have completed 20 of them so I am on pace to finish in about 500 days. Some of these tasks however require the full 1,001 days though so I will not be finishing early. Exercising 3 times per week on average I may hit a few weeks early as well as hiking 300 miles, but for the most part, these goals will be completed early (I hope).
Here's what I have done so far.
- I answered the "50 Questions That Will Free Your Mind".
- I read 10 random Wikipedia pages.
- I found a quote for all 101 items
- I changed out all my underwear. As a side not, I'm going to buy a few more. The exercising is causing me to shower more at night in addition to my morning shower and I change my underwear so I'm forced to do laundry early to make it through the week. I know... first world problems.
- I got my eyes checked. They are slightly better than perfect, just like me. :)
- I donated to a Kickstarter campaign and it got funded so I'll be receiving my item soon.
- I created a workable and realistic budget.
- I bought a lottery ticket... I broke even.
- I completed the 30 day easy squat challenge. This jump-started my exercising and was a great way to get going.
- I drank 2 liters of water every day for well over a month.
- I went well over a month without added sugar of any kind
- I packed a lunch to work every day for a month
- I went over a month without eating anything from a gas station or fast food.
- I've taken a multivitamin every day for over 2 months.
- I set a daily routine and it's working great.
- I flossed every day for a month. I have pretty much kept up with this as well.
- I wore something nicer than jeans to work every day for a week. I was inspired and did it again and after losing 24 pounds I bought some new clothes and am giving more of a crap about my appearance and about myself over all.
- I watched all 7 star wars movies in order, most of them more than once. My son loves them.
- I framed and hung up my Masters Degree
- I watched 10 classic movies I've never seen before
In addition to all of these completed tasks, I have gotten a head start on a bunch of others.
- I am hoping to hike 150 miles this year, Í'm at slightly more than 12 so far but I have another hike planed for next week which will put me near 20.
- I am hoping to get to 300 miles total. I'm slightly more than 20 so far.
- I have dropped about 8% body fat. I have about 3% more to go to check this off the list. These will be the hardest 3%. I am sure of that.
- I'm hoping to get to 150 miles of completed Appalachian Trail Miles. I'm at 85 and have planned a trip in April for another 44 or so. I also have a few other trips planned to maybe even complete this one this year.
- I am 50% complete reading 2 philosophy books.
- I have read 6 books total out of the 70 I want to read.
- I watched 40% of the Oscar Nominated movies the year I was born (1982)
- I have watched 14 movies starting with different letters of the alphabet.
- I read 1 of the 5 classic books I've never read. I've purchased a few more.
- I have dropped 24 pounds so I am only 9 pounds away from my goal.
- I've planned 5 of the 6 nights I want to spend backpacking.
- I have plans to hike a Maine Peak, a Vermont Peak and to finish my New Hampshire List this year.
- I'm scheduled to pay off my student loans this year.
- We have booked a 4 night vacation for the Family in July.
I'm hoping that in the next 100 days which will end just prior to Summer on June 17th, that I will have another 16 items complete. It's kind of a long shot but if I keep at it, I will be in a good position.
In addition, I'll be near completion on enough tasks that by day 300 I should have completed an additional 20 - 22 items. I'm thinking I will be about 50% complete through the list in 30% of the time. That will make the remaining 50% much easier to accomplish.
